O yea nice gun.
It is a lot lighter, 8.1 pounds for the A-4 16". My only problem with the others is the weight. The Springfield SOCOM is a wonderful firearm, but $1,695.- on sale. And it is heavy.Quote:

Mostly I have been carrying a 6.8 SPC A-4, AR-15. I like to wander around the Chugach National Forest all day. The truth is I hate Black Guns, I like pre-1964 Model 70 Winchesters. But I also hate cleaning firearms; and the Black Guns are good about that.
Buy what you like for what ever reason you like it.
For what it is worth, I have a friend Eric J. and he and his two sons have shot 41 moose over the last 24 years. All one shot drops, with AR-15 in .223
Common happening for a person's first Moose. you gotta be real stupid to do it twice.
Worse is Brown Bears that drop into a creek 3' wide and 4' deep.
hopeak how far are you from Fairbanks. I spent a few years there early in my military career and loved it. I was stationed on ft wainwright, richardson and greely. also spend alot of r & r time in glenn allen (have a good friend there), seward and valdez. Best place on earth!
I am about 11 miles out of Hope, Ak. about 75 miles south of Los Anchorage. If you spend time in Fairbanks in the winter, you know cold, -46 below yesterday in Fairbanks.
Cracks me up, all the bug'out people that are going to go to Alaska, build a log cabin and live for free. Right now it is -73 below F. in Tok, Alaska today.
I have a friend who I shoot with that, prefers .22lr pistol Ruger mkII very good choice.
His eyesight is not so hot. I pack my Henry M-7 and have 20-20 vision. I eat more often
than him. :) I learned it early, if you gotta kill something use a rifle.
SAM, You know the one about the sheriff invited to some function. The host said, I see your wearing your revolver, tell me are you expecting trouble? Nope, if I was expecting trouble I would have brought my rifle.:)
Or as Jeff Cooper Say's, "Your pistol is what you use to fight your way back to your rifle".:)
You might invite you friend to consider a Extended Eye Relief scope on his Ruger MK II:)
Thanks I'll tell him.

A goofy hat?
Tony uk, When I have multiple Brown bears in camp at one time shredding everything, I dream of Mini-Guns also.
Let me get this straight, you put brown bears to work shredding documents? Quite noble of you, really. It's a little known fact that brown bears have a very high unemployment rate. It's a rather grizzly statistic.
I would use my 410 shotgun for a survival weapon, its the second best of my choices after my mind (says my dad and he likes to test that by asking what I would do when we're out in the woods) and then my .35 cal flintlock. I've done a lot of squirrel and rabbit hunting with my 410 and if needed I could put a slug in it for protection.
Nope, That amazeing bearedQuote:

In reference to earlier posts I too have done the deed with my M6 scout in 22 Hornet. I use 50 grain Sierra Semi-Spitzers at 2200fps and at this speed the bullet expands well and penetrates as well. I took my caribou in the chest at about 50 yards. I was cleaning 4 of her mates at the time when she came nosing around and was curious. I filled my tags on her curiosity. The bullet penetrated her rib cage and she ran about 40 yards and then fell on her nose. I had my 358 Norma ready in case a follow up was needed. The wound channel wasn't great but it got the job done and the penetration was fairly impressive.
I must point out that using a 22 Hornet in the area I was in was legal. I wouldn't do it again except in an emergency but in a pinch the Hornet does pretty well.
Over 18". Not sure about hand modification, but I don't think there's a difference between factory spec and hand mod.Quote:

I didn't know anything about this rifle, so I looked it up. Looks like it will float.Quote:

One of the advantages of being a Canadian is that you can legally buy and carry newly manufactures shotguns with barrels as short as 8.5" Pretty handy!
aurelius: it's supposed to, because it does. that's why it's got that fat, brickish buttstock.
since the gun this thread was origonaly on was foldable here is another the fmg-9
